The purpose of the African Women in Cinema Blog is to provide a space to discuss diverse topics relating to African women in cinema--filmmakers, actors, producers, and all film professionals. The blog is a public forum of the Centre for the Study and Research of African Women in Cinema.

In November the CNA Togo (Cinéma numérique ambulant) will organise a screening with a children’s club called “The planet is ours”. Facilitated by Burkinabe artist Adjaratou Ouédraogo, the project is titled “Toiles et projections, regard croisés de jeunes spectateurs sur le cinema” (Canvas and screenings, shared perspectives of young spectators on cinema). The objective is to encourage fun-filled and interactive reflections on the place of the other (spectator, neighbour, foreign) in the context of the shared leisure activity of cinema.

During the workshops facilitated by Adjaratou Ouédraogo following the screenings in their school, the children will be able to express their feelings by bringing together the written word (collage) and painting (acrylic on canvas). Their ideas, dreams, memories, expressed artistically, will be exhibited later during travelling installations in the participating countries. Notably, Togo, Mali, Senegal, Burkina Faso and France.
